Hi, I like drawing and when I was younger I also did some oil painting, but now I've been slowly trying to learn watercolor since its so beautiful. A while ago I decided to start using a more permanent pallete (I was using a mini travel set by W&N) and after looking online found that many suggested the handprint site by Bruce MacEvoy as the most extensive watercolor resource, especially regarding color. So after reading many of his pages I bought myself some tube paints from M. Graham based on handprints Basic Pallete suggestion.

But after using these paints Im finding I have no idea what I'm doing, tbh I dont really know how to mix with these. This could be inexperience but i remember getting (more or less) the colors I wanted from the previous set. I thought perhaps I can find someone else who using these pigemnts with a explanation or examples I can follow but I don't know what to even call this type of pallete and regardless it seems to me people don't use it anyway.

The pallete is: 4 "artist primaries" + 2 warm reds + 3 cool blues + 2 earth tones + a dark.

(The picture is using only the 4 primaries. The middle dot it meant to be a black/grey but it turned out purple/blue)

Any help would be much appreciated!
